The full name now is Broken Hill Regional Events Centre Reserve (and Race Course) new managers just started very helpful and keen to explain the reserve rules. Big price increases since our last stay in 2019. Unpowered $25/n Powered $40/n Unpowered weekly was pay 6 stay 7. Clean ablutions, power and water can be far from the site so long hoses and leads may be needed. All vans reverse up to the track on those sites. No pegs are allowed at all. New powered shade cloth sites are available. Dump point. Laundry was out of order on our stay. Few kms out of town to shop or get supplies. Excellent FTA TV all stations. Good phone coverage with Belong. Horses use the track for training morning and afternoon. Dogs permitted. Most sites are grassy. Grey water hoses are to be moved daily, to stop saturating the grass.

New managers just taken over. $37/n powered $27/n unpowered, not negotiable no weekly rates. No pool. Has ensuite sites extra cost, laundry, dump point and good amenities. Big level sites no slabs and also have drive through sites. Adequate shade overall. On main drag so lots of road noise. The ‘Quiet’ side backs onto houses so usual doggie noises. Good for 2 nights to do laundry and stock up the van. Seems popular because of proximity to town - ring ahead to ensure a site.

Last here late 2019. Things have changed as there are different caretakers who do care about the place. They are very helpful too. Much cleaner and organised than before. Call or book ahead to ensure a place, it’s that busy now. Beaut water pressure on our site. Every Adelaide FTA TV station, 4 Bar phone reception.
Powered if available $30/n for 2. Unpowered $12.50 per person.. Still no dump point but one about 3km away. Mostly large flat sites. Rated at 2.5 only because it really needs a dump point.

Located at the very end of Glenvale Rd. One price $30/n powered or unpowered. 3 large camping areas, the choice sites are along the lakeside. Mostly flat, power and water available might need longer leads etc for some sites. 1 washer and 1 dryer available. Dump point with combination lock - code given. At the homestead there are the ablution blocks, ok but expected them to be cleaner, they were grubby. Good for a couple of days. Coles supermarket on Glenvale Rd about 2 km from Showground.

Large level camping area at the far end of the Showground. $25/n powered. Water available at the powered sites. Unpowered sites too. Didn’t use the Showground ablution facilities. Dump point. Entry is by contacting the caretaker, then paying into the honesty box with your details. Nice town good for a few days. Horses do track work early morning, could hear them but not annoying to us. Excellent TV reception (Tamworth FTA) and good phone coverage.

2.5 because of the facilities. Well kept camping ground slight downhill slope, located north of the town. $25/n or $140/week powered, Good water pressure, all local FTA TV available. Good phone coverage. Dump point. Unfortunately, the facilities are ancient but clean. Nearby rail/road demolition work starts early and that might upset some. We stayed for a week. Powered steel gate locks at 7pm, access via code (supplied to all campers)

There seems to be a deal between council and the van parks, that the Showground won’t open for campers unless all other caravan parks are full. So it’s an overflow site during special local events only.

Located a couple of Kms out of town, this is a great alternative to in town. $25/n powered. Water and drains at each site, No pegs allowed on the all bitumen sites but we chose non bitumen to keep fridge in the shade. Excellent ablutions 8 in total that are all ensuite. Dump point. Our site was away from the club house and members parking. Happy hour drinks in the club as well as food on selected nights. The far eastern ablution block has 2 washers and 1 dryer plus a new clothes line too …..this place just gets better😊
